  • i would make one correction on this technique.

    you should keep hold of the ankle as they fall .

    reason being because if its an athletic guy he will get up as soon as his back hits the mat

  • i dunno i've done this to guys who know more then alittle jits and it worked quite well.. just have to get your foot outa there

see all

  • @kingshahine Yeah on the hit but defiantly not on concrete...

  • @kingshahine @kingshahine

    Yup, against an athletic guy or another BJJ-er, that is totally necessary, not to mention, passing the guard isn't THAT easy lol. However I'm sure they omitted this on purpose

    I've trained at some places and I notice that some instructors do omit certain details on purpose not because they're trying to hide something or they forgot it but because many beginners would get discouraged/lost trying to learn all the details just for one move and quit out of frustration

  • Good technique for a street fight, however, it should follow the principle of expediency (as taught in Krav, Sambo, heck, even Wing Chun): when the guy is leaning in opting for a ground + pound, why not just kick him in the nuts? In fact, if he creates space and you're on a butterfly guard, just kick him in the face while he's preoccupied trying to pummel your face. No matter his athleticism, a swift thrust to your trachea will stop you.

  • @piggypoo there are answers for that too review the entire punch block series from gracie combatitives. You can also upkick them in the face :) dont forget

  • can't the attacker, after he's exited the guard, go for nut stomps, stomps in general? I'm probably wrong, but that's why I'm asking.

  • The one who is standing can just take a legbar on him....

  • no.

    you would be in the same danger if you didn't pick it up.

    just make sure that you are staggered and not square when you finish the technique.

    if you pick up the leg they can't get up. thats also how gsp stopped bj penn from standing up when bj was on his back

  • @kingshahine wouldn't you be in danger of upkicks?

  • Very useful sweep.
